Accelerator seemed to stick under normal driving conditions... engine revs would not go to normal idle even in neutral... brakes would not stop the vehicle at the high revs... only solution was to put the car in neutral and shut the engine off... after working the gas pedal while in park, the engine idle speed went back to normal...

Brakes and unattended acceleration failure due to design problems with brake and gas pedal. Brake pedal 1 inch closer and one lower to the floor board gas pedal. Shoe is resting slightly on gas pedal as you are braking. The average size shoe will hit the gas pedal as you are braking.

I was driving on interstate 55. I went to pass a semi truck. My speed at this time was 65 mph. I stepped on the accelerator and started to change lanes, the transmission down shifted to a passing gear and the throttle was wide open and it stayed that way. I shut off the ignition and turned it back on, the throttle was still wide open. I tried this a total of three times, now I am going well over 80 mph. I finally left the ignition off and coasted over to the side of the road. My wife asked what had just happened and I told her that the throttle was stuck open. I asked her to look on the floor so she could she nothing was stuck anywhere near the accelerator pedal. I might add the cruise control was not on. I restarted the truck and cautiously went to our dinner engagement. After dinner we used extreme caution on our way back home. I tried several times to replicate the problem. It never did produce itself on our return trip. I called Toyota on Monday morning and after telling them the problem they wanted me to drive the truck back to the dealer I refused. I made them come tow it. It was checked out by the field engineer and was returned to me. They said nothing was found to be out of order. But went into detail that the floor mats were not installed correctly. This truck had 149 miles on it. It was only 4 days old.

- the contact was having problems with the 2007 Toyota Tacoma, the throttle sticks while driving and trying to stop. The truck will not stop, it accelerated at all times unexpectedly. He took the vehicle to the dealer and they told him that the computer was learning how to drive, that the failure was normal, and that all Toyota vehicles went through that process. It was taken to the dealer for repairs at least three times, and they could not find the cause of the problem. Just last week he was in the parking lot driving at 5 mph and the vehicle accelerated unexpectedly. The current and failure mileage were 2300 miles. Toyota claimed claimed it was normal and a part of the emissions. Updated 03/19/07.
